At last! Sony Ericsson first unveiled their ‘arc slider’, the touchscreen Xperia X1 way back at
Mobile World Congress in February. And now the people who yesterday brought you the G705 have confirmed their smartphone will hit the UK on 30 September.
It can’t come soon enough. Packing a full QWERTY keyboard, a touchscreen to rival the might of Apple’s effort and Windows Mobile for business types and those fond of awkwards operating systems, it really is a treat.
On top of all those goodies, you’ll find HSDPA, Wi–Fi and a 3.2MP snapper round the back in case you manage to take time out from all that work for some photo fun time.
Can it take on the
iPhone 3G? And see off the HTC Touch Pro? Let us know what you think in the comments section. And don’t forget to check out our
hands–on video with the Xperia X1 in action too.
